Becoming Educated Barbara Jordan
In this autobiographical excerpt from Barbara Jordan:A Self-Portrait (1979),Jordan narrates her learning experience in Boston University that leads to a real insight into the true meaning of education.
So I was in Boston University in this new and strange and different world,and it occurred to me that if I was going to succeed at this strange new adventure, I would have to read. I felt that, in order to compensate for what I had missed in earlier years,I would have to work harder, and study longer, than anybody else. I still had this feeling that I did not want my colleagues to know what a tough time I was having understanding the concepts, the words, the ideas, the process. I did not want them to know that. So I did my reading not in the law library, but in a library at the graduate dorm, upstairs where it was very quiet, because apparently nobody else there studied. So I would go there at night after dinner. I would load my books under my arm and go to the library, and I would read until the wee hours of the morning and then go to bed. I did not get much sleep during those years. I was lucky if I got three or four hours a night, because I had to stay up. I had to. The professors would assign cases for the next day, and these cases had to be read and understood or I would be behind, further behind than I was.

生命礼赞
比尔-休伊特
切特·肖伯对人友善，但沉默寡言，是个情感不大外露的人。然而，即使在今天，在一场意外几乎改变了他及其家庭的一切之后很久，每当谈到它，切特·肖伯仍激动不已。在一次器官捐赠者家庭幸存成员的集会上，肖伯，这位63 岁的圣诞树林场主，代表所有的器官接受者，起身向那些死者的近亲致谢。“要是没有你们，‟他动情地说，。任何像我这样的人都活不到今天。”此种难言之感，肖伯体验最甚，因为，当他饱含热泪站在那里的时候，他的胸腔里跳动着的是他女儿帕蒂的心脏。
五年前，女儿的最大不幸却使切特·肖伯成了第一个植入自己孩子心脏的人。他患慢性心脏病多年，1994 年8 月22 日，他做了心脏移植手术，那是他女儿帕蒂死于车祸之后第四天。帕蒂22 岁，是个有志向的护士。当时她正在田纳西州大雾山度假。从此以后，切特·肖伯成为一个器官捐赠的福音传道者，以此作为对他女儿的最好纪念。肖伯说,“医务人员告诉我，他们可以大谈特谈器官捐赠的重要性，”“但是这都没有什么影响力，除非有一个自己经历过此事的人向人们宣传.”
1972 年，帕蒂才1 岁，肖伯心脏病首次发作。当时他36 岁，在西尔斯连锁店当推销员，因病失业9 个月。在随后几年里，他的心脏病复发两次，不得不辞去工作。帕蒂20 岁时，经常为父亲开车，将他从位于底特律市伯克利郊区的家里送到密西根北部，那里有他在自家土地上创办的林场。1990 年，切特·肖伯的名字被列在等待心脏移植的名单上，这似乎给了他生存的最后一线希望。但是，几年过去了，他没有等到捐赠的心脏。他的状况糟糕到几乎白天不能动弹。他说：“我几乎是放弃了”，“我已等得太久了。”4 帕蒂的家人认为，父亲的病痛对帕蒂产生了很深的影响，她决定从事医疗工作，因为她目睹了父亲经历的一切痛苦。1994 年，她决心要拿到外科手术助理的学位。

Early Children Education
Preschools—educational programs for children under the age of five—differ significantly from one country to another according to the views that different societies hold regarding the purpose of early childhood education.For instance,in a cross-country comparison of preschools in China,Japan,and the United States,researchers found that parents in the three countries view the purpose of preschools very differently.Whereas parents in China tend to see preschools primarily as a way of giving children a good start academically,Japanese parents view them primarily as a way of giving children the opportunity to be members of a group.In the United States,in comparison,parents regard the primary purpose of preschools as making children more independent and self-reliant,although obtaining a good academic start and having group experience are also important.

Railroads and Commercial Agriculture in Nineteenth-Century United States
By 1850 the United States possessed roughly 9,000 miles of railroad track;then years later it had over 30,000 miles,more than the rest of the world combined.Much of the new construction during the 1850s occurred west of the Appalachian Mountains–over 2,000 miles in the states of Ohio and Illinois alone.
The effect of the new railroad lines rippled outward through the economy.Farmers along the tracks began to specialize in corps that they could market in distant locations.With their profits they purchased manufactured goods that earlier they might have made at home.Before the railroad reached Tennessee,the state produced about 25,000 bushels(or 640 tons)of wheat,which sold for less than 50 cents a bushel.Once the railroad came,farmers in the same counties grew 400,000 bushels(over 10,000 tons)and sold their crop at a dollar a bushel.

Alexander Henderson (1831-1913)
Born in Scotland, Henderson emigrated to Canada in 1855, and became a well-known landscape
photographer
Alexander Henderson was born in Scotland in 1831 and was the son of a successful merchant. His grandfather, also called Alexander, had founded the family business, and later became the first chairman of the National Bank of Scotland. The family had extensive landholdings in Scotland. Besides its residence in Edinburgh, it owned Press Estate, 650 acres of farmland about 35 miles southeast of the city. The family often stayed at Press Castle, the large mansion on the northern edge of the property, and Alexander spent much of his childhood in the area, playing on the beach near Eyemouth or fishing in the streams nearby.

The origin of Earth’s atmosphere
In order to understand the origin of Earth's atmosphere,we must go back to the earliest days of the solar system,before the planets themselves were formed from a disk of rocky material spinning around the young Sun.This material gradually coalesced into lumps called planetesimals as gravity and chance smashed smaller pieces together,a chaotic and violent process that became more so as planetesimals grew in size and gravitational pull.Within each orbit,collisions between planetesimals generated immense heat and energy.How violent these processes were is suggested by the odd tilt and spin of many of the planets,which indicate that each of the planets was,like a billiard ball,struck at some stage by another large body of some kind.Visual evidence of these processes can be seen by looking at the Moon.Because the Moon has no atmosphere,its surface is not subject to erosion,so it retains the marks of its early history.Its face is deeply scarred by millions of meteoric impacts,as you can see on a clear night with a pair of binoculars.The early Earth did not have much of an atmosphere.Before it grew to full size,its gravitational pull was insufficient to prevent gases from drifting off into space,while the solar wind(the great stream of atomic particles emitted from the Sun)had already driven away much of the gaseous material from the inner orbits of the solar system.So we must imagine the early Earth as a mixture of rocky materials,metals,and trapped gases,subject to constant bombardment by smaller planetesimals and without much of an atmosphere.

They take part-time work because this is all they can get. Anincrease in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labormarket and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making endsmeet.

Population Growth in Nineteenth-Century Europe
[1]Because of industrialization,but also because of a vast increase in agricultural output without which industrialization would have been impossible,Western Europeans by the latter half of the nineteenth century enjoyed higher standards of living and longer,healthier lives than most of the world's peoples.In Europe as a whole,the population rose from188 million in 1800 to 400 million in1900.By 1900,virtually every area of Europe had contributed to the tremendous surge of population,but each major region was at a different stage of demographic change.

初二语文阅读1：树林
⑴入秋了，呼喊了一个夏天的蝉儿终于偃旗息鼓，树林像一个玩累了的孩子，变得乖顺和安静。
⑵走进幽暗的树林，给人一种黄昏即将来临的错觉。【A】树林里密密地生长着许多又高又瘦的树，好像运动场上那些摩拳擦掌、腾挪跳跃的高个子跳高运动员。那几块碎银子般的亮光就是天了，天是不是也有窥视欲?它的几缕眼角的余光常常有意无意地从树叶的缝隙处溜进来，想窥见树林里的秘密。其实树林并不是为了不泄露隐私才把自己遮盖得那么好，它只是想让它所有的孩子一心一意地生长，不受那些过于荣耀和风光的事物诱惑。树林是自足的，谦卑的，除了树木的生长它没有其他任何的贪图。因此树林是简单的，朴素的，树林里没有自命不凡的岩石，没有钩心斗角的灌木和为所欲为到处抢占地盘的野草。那种空旷和恬静给人带来内心的安宁。
⑶石板路边上长着的一些青苔，让人忍不住想去抚摸一番。但当我们俯下身子，捡起来的却是几片落叶。这些落叶不像我们平时在马路上见到的落叶那样，是憔悴的，病态的，过早凋零的有一种被摧残、被欺凌的感觉，让我们满怀怜悯。这里的落叶不需要怜悯，它不像那些马路上的落叶带着一种幽怨的黄色，它是完全抛弃了泪水和伤感的。它是百分之百的褐色，这种褐色非常纯粹，非常干净，非常老成，仿佛它历尽沧桑，早已看透命运。这些落叶带给我们一种超凡脱俗的淡定。树林里铺满了落叶，一年又一年的落叶变成了泥土。这里的泥土也是褐色的，褐色中居然带着一点点红，像是血丝，这些泥土是不是开始有生命了呢?我的同伴把这些有生命的泥土捧进一个塑料袋里，说要带回去让它孕育新的生命。在层层叠叠的落叶中依稀长着一些蕨类

The Origins of Cetaceans
It should be obvious that cetaceans-whales, porpoises, and dolphins-are mammals. They breathe through lungs, not through gills, and give birth to live young. Their streamlined bodies, the absence of hind legs, and the presence of a fluke and blowhole cannot disguise their affinities with land dwelling mammals. However, unlike the cases of sea otters and pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses, whose limbs are functional both on land and at sea), it is not easy to envision what the first whales looked like. Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged? Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans.

Seventeenth-Century Dutch Agriculture
Agriculture and fishing formed the primary sector of the economy in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century.Dutch agriculture was modernized and commercialized new crops and agricultural techniques raised levels of production so that they were in line with market demands,and cheap grain was imported annually from the Baltic region in large quantities.According to estimates,about 120,000 tons of imported grain fed about 600,000 people:that is about a third of the Dutch population.Importing the grain,which would have been expensive and time consuming for the Dutch to have produced themselves,kept the price of grain low and thus stimulated individual demand for other foodstuffs and consumer goods.

The United States covers a large part of the North American continent.Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south.Although the United States is a big country,it is not the largest in the world.In2000,its population was over222million.
When this land first became a nation,after winning its independence from England,it had thirteen states.Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star.All these were in the eastern part of the continent.As the nation grew toward the west,new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag.For a long time,there were48stars.In1959, however,two more stars were added to the flag,representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.

《凌霄和月季》
凌霄和月季一起从地里探出头来.
月季花开了,红艳艳的,大伙赞美她.月季花只是微笑着摇头,默默地散着芳香. 凌霄也开花了，一朵朵橙红色的花，像一只只喇叭。她攀上一棵大树，顺着树杆往上攀，一直攀到树顶。凌霄感到自己上天了，往下看看，花儿草儿多么矮小啊！她嘲笑着伙伴们：“哈哈哈，你们都在我的下面。”
花儿,草儿们羡慕地看着这攀高入云的凌霄花,都说:"凌霄花真了不起."惟独月季花一声不响.
凌霄花听着声声赞美,越加得意,她高傲地对月季说:"喂!朋友,你怎么一句赞
美的话都没有,不想让我采朵云给你吗"
月季淡淡地说:"我长得虽矮,但是靠自己的根立在地上.你凭借了大树的高,炫耀自己,没啥稀罕."
凌霄花哼了一声,没再理睬月季.
一天,伐木队选了这棵大树.电锯沙沙沙,大树倒了,凌霄花一下跌落地面.那些为她唱赞歌的花儿,草儿都来讥笑她.
月季花却安慰她说：“朋友，应该学会自立。”凌霄花惭愧的低下了头。
1、分别用两三句话介绍一下月季和凌霄两种花。
月季：
______________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________
凌霄：
______________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________
2、写出下面句子的含义。
我长得虽矮,但是靠自己的根立在地上.你凭借了大树的高,炫耀自己,没啥稀罕.

4、把短文分成三部分，请你概括各段段意。

第三段：
5、写出下列词语的反义词。
赞美（）矮小（）讥笑（）凭借（）
6、当“花儿,草儿们羡慕地看着这攀高入云的凌霄花”不住赞叹时，为什么月季花“一声不响”？
7、当月季花安慰凌霄花时，为什么凌霄花“惭愧的低下了头”？
刻舟求剑
刻舟求剑是《吕氏春秋•察今》中记述的一则寓言，说的是楚国有人坐船渡河时，不慎把剑掉入江中，他在舟上刻下记号，说：「这是我把剑掉下的地方。」当舟停驶时，他才沿着记号跳入河中找剑，遍寻不获。该寓言劝勉为政者要明白世事在变，若不知改革，就无法治国，后引伸成不懂变通、墨守成规之意。
【原文】楚人有涉江者，其剑自舟中坠于水，遽（jù)契(qì)其舟，曰：“是吾剑之所从坠。”舟止，从其所契者入水求之。舟已行矣，而剑不行，求剑若此，不亦惑乎！
战国•吕不韦《吕氏春秋•察今》又名《吕览》
【译文】有一个渡江的楚国人，他的剑从船上掉进了水里。他急忙用刀在船沿上刻了一个记号，说：“这儿是我的剑掉下去的地方。”船停止以后，这个人从他所刻记号的地方下水去找剑。船已经向前行驶了很远，而剑却不会和船一起前进，像这样去找剑，不是很糊涂吗?
注释
1.涉--本指徒步过河，此指渡过。
2.自--从。
3.遽--急忙，立即，匆忙。
4.契--用刀雕刻。
5.是--指示代词，这儿。
6.不亦惑乎--不是很糊涂吗？惑，迷惑，糊涂。“不亦......乎”是一种委婉的反问句式。
7.坠--掉下。
8.若--像。
9.是吾剑之所从坠--这里是我的剑掉下去的地方。 10.楚--周代国名，都城在今湖北江陵县北。 11.求--寻找。 12.之--代词，代“剑”。
13.其剑自舟坠于水，其：他的。 14.遽契其舟，其：(指示代词)那。 15.从其所契者，其：他。 16.是吾剑之所从坠，之：助词，不译。 17.止：动词，停止。 18.行：前进。 19.亦：也。
刻舟求剑：比喻不懂事物已发展变化而仍静止地看问题。
剑掉入水中，在船舷刻上记号，待船停止后仍从记号处下水寻剑。比喻拘泥固执，不知变通。
典出《吕氏春秋．慎大览．察今》。△「守株待兔」、「胶柱鼓瑟」
《吕氏春秋．慎大览．察今》
楚人有涉江者，其剑自舟中坠于水，遽契其舟，曰：「是吾剑之所从坠。」舟止，从其所契者入水求之。舟已行矣，而剑不行，求剑若此，不亦惑乎？以此故法为其国，与此同。时已徙矣，而法不徙，以此为治，岂不难哉？
战国时，秦国丞相吕不韦在《吕氏春秋》一书中，阐述君王治理国政的道理。他认为君王治国应要符合时宜，不能一味沿袭旧法，因为环境会随着时间改变。他举了一个例子：楚国有人渡江时，剑掉到水里，他便很快地在船身上刻了记号，说：「我的剑就是从这里掉下去的。」等到船停了，他就从记号处下水找剑。可是船已经走动了，但落水的剑却不会动，这样找剑，不是很奇怪吗？如果用旧法治理国家，而不考虑时空的转变，就像这个求剑者的行为一样令人困惑。后来这个典源被浓缩成「刻舟求剑」，用来比喻拘泥固执，不知变通
